On the website, they will need to;

  • Find out what type of visa to apply for and the documents you will need to prepare;
  • Fill out an online application form, pay the visa fee and book your appointment at a Visa Application Centre;
  • Receive a unique GWF Number.

2. Book an appointment

You will then be redirected to the TLScontact website where you will be able to book and pay for an appointment to submit your biometrics and supporting evidence.

You can choose the Assisted Service where the visa application staff will help you scan and organize your supporting evidence. If you choose the self-upload service, you will have to organize and upload all your supporting evidence online, before attending your appointment.

3. Attend your appointment

You will then be required to go for your scheduled appointment at the Visa Application Centre. The visa application centre is located at 9 West Building, 2nd Unit, 1st Floor Ring Road Parklands, Westlands.

  • A printed receipt of payment for any Added Value Services (if applicable);
  • A valid passport or travel document and residence permit (both original and copy) in A4 format (if applicable);
  • Any supporting documents which you intend to supply (as well as copies of all originals in A4 format);
  • The first page of your Visa Application Form;

  • A printed receipt of payment for any Added Value Services (if applicable);
  • A valid passport or travel document and residence permit (both original and copy) in A4 format (if applicable);

Thereafter the following will happen:

  • Acceptance of your application and documentation
  • Taking of your fingerprints and photograph to enroll your biometric data
  • Transfer your application to UK Visas and Immigration for assessment and processing.
